About the Show:

Ribs & Rods is one of Temple's most popular and fastest growing events, joining the community's love for live music, classic and custom cars, and BBQ, all in support of our local Ronald McDonald House.

Past events have brought in over 600 show vehicles, 75 top notch cooking teams, many vendors, plus family-friendly, fun events and contests.

​Bend 'O The River is one of the most beautiful car show and BBQ cook off sites with sprawling grass and shade trees suprisingly located right off I- 35.
